Is Pokemon Getting Weird?

[randomspot555]

I still think it's wierd because of the design of 5th gen pokemon.

Why is "weird" a bad thing? Also, how is a rock with arms not "weird" but an overstuffed trashbag is "weird"?

I see nothing weird about that

Pokemon has always been weird. Why mention it now?

Anyways, I think that Pokemon has been getting weirder, worse, and better. I think the imaginations of the producers have to stretch much farther then a dinosaur with a bulb on his back; they're just trying to be more creative, even if it means creating some rather...fusion-ized 'mons. *coughnewKamiTriocough*

Weirdness is based on a point of reference.

If one's point of reference is the real world, then Pokemon was, is, and will be weird.
If one's point of reference is the old games, the new games are weird.

I will agree that Pokemon is getting Complicated, but not weird

Yeah. This sums it up.

To be honest, there is no definition or explanation of how a Pokémon should look like, a Pokémon is a Pokémon regardless of how it looks.

Is Pokémon getting weird? No. Pokémon has been weird since day 1 - remember Jynx? What the hell is that supposed to be? What is Muk, living mud? Living Magnets? A turtle with a cannon installed in its shell? What? And Porygon? That thing is an artificial creation. A stone snake? A MIME? What the ****? It really sucks that people are being hypocritical when it comes to designs when it's obvious that some designs have been strange since day 1. People are just willing to look past them for the sake of nostalgia and criticize newer generations for similarly ridiculous designs for God knows what reason.

It's kinda sad.

Your cousin needs to take off the nostalgia glasses.

There's nothing more to say

^What Absol said.

Pokemon was always weird, but the increased complicated-ness in the games actually makes it more fun to play.

Well, the Random Matchup is a bit weird since they censor your pokemons' nicknames, but don't censor whatever the trainer has entered as his/her phrases when you meet them afterwards on Join Avenue.

Yesterday, I played a Random Matchup, and when I talked to the guy afterwards, he said "Nutsack!" Obviously, I wasn't going to invite him to open a shop, so I recommended him instead, and while interacting with the shop, he said "TITTIES!" in all caps.

Yes, my pokemon game has officially had a character that has screamed the word titties in the marketplace. I'm trying to imagine if I was a kid playing with his parent(s) watching.
